The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has inaugurated the new office complex of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ilorin Zonal Command, Kwara State.
During the inauguration, Fagbemi described the project as an attestation of the current administration’s commitment to rid Nigeria of corruption.
He pointed out that the Tinubu administration planned to rescue Nigeria from the grips of corruption, noting that the EFCC was key to the actualization of the dream.
“The EFCC is pivotal in the Tinubu administration’s plan to remove impediments to accountability in governance institutions and strengthen mechanisms and platforms by which Nigerians can hold public officers to account,” he said.
He noted corruption that hinder developmental programs and undermining government’s reform efforts at all levels.
“Economic and financial crimes hurt developmental programs and policy of the government at all levels and ultimately fuel insecurity and erode gains arising from reforms in the core sectors of our economy,” he said.
